We've seen it all before, teams can come from way back to still gain promotion. After 5 games I'm not particularly worried at being a bit behind, it's basically a brand new team we have and these things take time. Magath has realised he needs experienced players in the team and hopefully he can get the right balance of experience and youth in the team. I have no problem with or dislike Leeds Utd but I'd happily stick my neck out and say Fulham WILL finish above Leeds this season.
Well very few if any have come from 11-12 behind to get auto so that leaves the play offs,We've strenthened our team massively in the last week or so. I wish you well but think you will be looking up for us all season.
The league table doesn't lie, but that's only in May, once everyone has played each other twice. If you're above us by then, fair play to you, but I'm not at all sure you will be. As for the line about kids, how did that work out for Alan Hanson?
Um, Sunderland lost their first six then were Champions under Roy Keane. We're already one point better off than them and we've got a game in hand.
What's that 1 in 150 years or so,good look with that.Mind you a few more losses and you may end up with Keane as manager so that might improve your odds.
Forgot about Marcello Trotta. Apparently a couple of Italian clubs are after him: "Cesena and Parma, head to head on the market. For Marcello Trotta. The attacker-21 owned by the Fulham keen to both clubs, contacts in the past hours. He waited for new developments, Trotta in the foreground. The fate of the attacker could be in Italy."

Back to the Mark Hudson rumours. Am I right in thinking he was with us as a youngster? He'd be a decent signing, though I'm still not convinced we need another centre back. I think Smith could be a useful squad member, but I'm still looking forward to seeing what Taggart can do. I have a suspicion that he might turn out to be McCormack's best (and most frequent) partner.
Ben Arta linked with a loan move to Birmingham, would we want him? Do we need him? He certainly makes things happen in the final third!!!
Lots of fans saying we need a target man upfront in this division along the Zamora mould! Someone who isn't necessary a goal machine but can hold the ball pump, cause problems with there presence and give us a plan b when required! I don't think Matt Smith of Leeds is the answer, a target man doesn't have to be a big lump I would want somebody who gives a physical presence but is also mobile, Fuller and Dicko did it against us very well for Millwall and Wolves
In the same logic you expect Swansea to finish above Utd come the end of the season. Your knowledge of maths and football is astonishing!!
There are stories in the Spanish media that Levante Deportiva are negotiaiating to buy out Hugo's contract.
It would free up a ton of wages though. A cheaper replacement that can score would be good. Is that too harsh?
Only you're no Man utd and Watford and Notts Forest would be much better than a Swansea in the championship so yes I expect them to finish well above Fulham.
According to Sky he's off to Huddersfield. source: http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/cardiff-defender-mark-hudson-set-to-join-huddersfield-town345/
Worth the try if we did bid. However he's signed for Crystal Palace for £7m. Good move by them and I can see him and Bolassie (who I still think we should have signed in the Jol reign) working well together.
